I wrote my first looper album Sounds of Being on the Boss RC-20XL (boss.info), which is a simple one-track loop station. Now, I use a Boss RC-300 Loop Station, which has the capacity for three stereo tracks. The fidelity is much better with this looper, and it has phantom power built in.
I use a DPA 4099V mic (dpamicrophones.com). I play with an AER Compact 60/4 amp (aer-music.de) that is made for amplifying acoustic instruments, such as a classical guitar.
